With a top-tier domain like Mount Fangcun to shelter it, the future of the Unparalleled Continent is surely promising!

It's no wonder someone at the Constellation Early Stage already possesses Late Stage strength. Such a person is not something a newly ascended domain can nurture. It is evident that Li Taibai received significant support from the Dwarf Race during his growth, which is why he has such profound foundation.

"I roughly understand your intentions, young friend," Tang Jun nodded slightly. "Rest assured, if we two can escape from here, Qingli Dao World will no longer offend Unparalleled, and the previous matters will be written off, just as you said earlier. It was they who provoked first. You killing them was just their deserved punishment."

The reason Lu Ye spoke at length with him and even unhesitatingly used the Dwarf Race as leverage was to get this assurance from Tang Jun. However, the ease with which the other party agreed left him somewhat incredulous.

Tang Jun, being so astute, knew what Lu Ye was thinking just by looking at his expression, and said, "After the battle at Qingdai Mountain, almost the entire force from top to bottom of Qingli Dao World's three top sects was wiped out, with only a few remaining Constellations surviving who remain at their posts. They know nothing about your Unparalleled, so even if they wish to seek revenge, they are powerless. As for my side... You have the red talisman and close ties with the Dwarf Race. As one of the two surviving Moon Jades of this domain, I am unwilling to bring disaster to this domain, and I certainly will not stand up for Qingdai Mountain! If I can return alive, I will definitely restrain the remnants of Qingdai Mountain. Some things should be left in the past, and some people are just gone. In the stellar space, there are many grievances that cannot be resolved, and many times when a smile alleviates enmity. I hope our two domains can be the latter!"

Lu Ye said, "It better be as you say."

Tang Jun said, "So, can we talk about that transaction now? Young friend should be able to see that I can't hold on much longer. If we delay further, you won't even have a transaction partner."

"I believe I have a way to take you out of here!"

Tang Jun's expression was as calm as an ancient well: "What do I need to give up? Or what treasure of mine does young friend fancy?"

"I have a secret technique that acts on the psyche, so I need you, Old Tang, to cooperate, open up your psyche defense, and not resist."

Tang Jun narrowed his eyes slightly: "May I ask what effect it would have after the technique is performed?"

"There is no harm. It's just that you'll probably obey my commands?" Lu Ye replied airily.

In truth, Lu Ye was not confident whether the Soul Taming Divine Runes could control a Moon Jade Mid-Stage. The cultivation gap between them was considerable, but if he were to perform it on Tang Jun, he would need his full cooperation, as even the slightest resistance during the process would result in failure.

This matter cannot allow for any lies. If any peculiarity is sensed by Tang Jun during execution, he will surely resist, so it must be his willing choice.

Tang Jun chuckled, "If that's the case, then there will be no transaction!" Although he didn't understand the subtlety of Soul Taming, just from Lu Ye's explanation he knew what kind of secret technique it was. Having lived over three thousand years as a Moon Jade, how could he suffer such indignity?

Lu Ye spoke earnestly, "Better to live ignominiously than to die nobly!"

Tang Jun shook his head, "I don't have many years left anyway. If I don't die here today, I will die elsewhere in a few years!"

His refusal was resolute, and Lu Ye wasn't too disappointed as he had anticipated this outcome. If the situation were reversed, he wouldn't agree to such a request casually either.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Tang Jun said, "Young friend, for you to come to me at this time to discuss a transaction, am I to understand that you cannot accomplish it alone? Are you hoping to borrow my strength? If so, I request you be more honest. Some things benefit both sides when united, and harm when divided. Although young friend is not very old, this principle should be clear to you."

He cut to the heart of the matter with one sentence, leaving Lu Ye somewhat helpless. These old guys who've lived many years are indeed astute, making it impossible to keep things hidden.

"Give me your storage ring," Lu Ye said, settling on a lesser alternative. It wasn't about wanting his storage ring in particular, but feeling like he would be at a loss if he just took Tang Jun out without anything to show for it.

Asking for a storage ring was a way to compensate. After all, a Moon Jade's ring is bound to have something good in it.

Tang Jun gave him a deep look and, without saying much, took off his storage ring and flicked it towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye caught it, didn't even look at it, and slipped it into his sleeve before standing up and saying, "How much strength do you have left?"

Tang Jun smiled bitterly, "Ten percent!"

With just ten percent strength left, he was indeed on the verge of running out of fuel.

"Recover first!" Lu Ye said, walking to Tang Jun's side and starting to construct Void Spirit Runes to weaken the space turbulence around him.

Tang Jun focused intently, becoming more and more astonished at what he saw. Though he had guessed Lu Ye had a means to weaken space turbulence erosion, he didn't know what those means were until now!

An incredibly complex and profound spirit rune was constructed with a wave of a hand, and not just once.

With his eye and experience, he naturally recognized them as Void Spirit Runes. Although there were slight differences from the Void Spirit Runes he knew, they were essentially the same.

This Li Taibai was actually a spirit runes master, and his mastery in the Path of Spirit Runes was undoubtedly exceptional; otherwise, he could not construct such complex runes so easily and skillfully.

So this was how he weakened the space turbulence, Tang Jun suddenly realized.

But even knowing that, he couldn't imitate it. Not to mention his own lack of depth in the Path of Spirit Runes, even if he did have some knowledge, he couldn't wield it as freely as the other.

It could be said that the skill in spirit runes displayed by Lu Ye had already surpassed his understanding; without witnessing it firsthand, it was hard to believe anyone could construct the Void so effortlessly.

The Void Spirit Runes subtly incorporate the marvel of space, and using them here to weaken the space turbulence is particularly fitting.

"Hurry up and recover, what are you looking at?" Lu Ye urged.

"My storage ring is with you, give me some spirit jade and elixir pills!" Tang Jun looked at him somewhat innocently.

Lu Ye was speechless and quickly took out some spirit jade to hand over, then rummaged through his storage ring to find a suitable bottle of elixir pills.

Only then did Tang Jun close his eyes and begin to recover himself.

Lu Ye, having nothing to do on his side, examined Tang Jun's storage ring and found to his surprise that this old fellow was really quite poor. Besides some spirit jade and elixir pills, there were just some miscellaneous materials and a few decent spirit treasures. Other than that, not even a single spirit crystal was in sight.

The amount of spirit jade wasn't much either, only about a thousand pieces...

Lu Ye knew this surely wasn't all of Tang Jun's worth. Just like himself, there were actually two storage places, one being the storage ring, and the other the storage space on the back of his hand. The storage ring typically contained things for regular use, whereas the truly valuable items were stored in the storage space.

Tang Jun probably also had his own storage space. Not to mention, he ought to have some treasures suitable for Moon Jade, for spirit treasures were outdated for Moon Jade, only Constellation players would use spirit treasures. As for the ones Moon Jade used, they were higher quality.

But even if Lu Ye took a treasure belonging to Moon Jade, he couldn't activate it, because such treasures required the unique, higher-quality power exclusive to Moon Jade.

Having already taken one storage ring from the other, it didn't seem appropriate to ask for more. After all, this was collaboration. Tang Jun expected Lu Ye to lead him out, while Lu Ye needed to borrow Tang Jun's strength.

Time passed, and with Lu Ye's assistance, Tang Jun's power gradually recovered, but at the same time, he still needed to wield his power to fend off some erosion from the space turbulence.

This caused Tang Jun's recovery to be much slower than Lu Ye anticipated.

It took a full month for Tang Jun to finally recover completely. He slowly opened his eyes, looking refreshed: "Young friend, this old man is fine now, what should be done?"

Lu Ye had also been waiting for this day; he had long planned what to do next.

"In a moment, I will need to borrow your strength, do not resist!"

Tang Jun couldn't help but be wary: "You don't intend to do anything in my Divine Sea, do you?"

"No!" Lu Ye said as such, stepping forward and directly coming to Tang Jun's back, then struck down with a palm.

Tang Jun's figure didn't move, seemingly unguarded against Lu Ye, because he knew, if Lu Ye really wanted to kill him, he would have acted a month ago. He wouldn't even have needed to act; just sitting and watching would have guaranteed his death.

Now that he had spent so much effort helping him recover, he certainly would not kill him with a single palm!

The palm lightly pressed on Tang Jun's back, and under the surge of spirit force, a spirit rune spread rapidly.

On the back of Lu Ye's hand, along with Tang Jun's back, a wing-shaped imprint appeared.

Twin Flying Phoenixes!

Honestly, using such a spirit rune on an old fellow like Tang Jun made Lu Ye feel a bit awkward, but to borrow Tang Jun's strength, he had no choice but to do so!

He had also considered using As-Close-As-Siblings; fundamentally speaking, the nature of these two spirit runes was similar.

However, the borrowing effect of As-Close-As-Siblings was not as complete as Twin Flying Phoenixes; As-Close-As-Siblings was more suitable for multi-person cooperation.

The moment the spirit rune formed, Lu Ye immediately felt the surging power hidden in Tang Jun's seemingly aged body. Indeed, as some records he saw in Xiyuan Pavilion had stated, the power within those in the Moon Jade Realm was a different thing from spirit force, being a notch higher in quality!

Using such power to activate the core of the Void Beast should break the space barrier, right?

Lu Ye could sense Tang Jun's foundation, and Tang Jun, in turn, could certainly sense Lu Ye's foundation, marveling internally. This Li Taibai appeared to be merely at the Constellation Early Stage, but in actuality, he truly had the foundation of the Late Stage; even the spirit force in the bodies of those in his own domain's Constellation Late Stage might not be as dense and rich as his.

It was truly perplexing, how was this cultivation even possible? Perhaps this was the sort of talent only a top-tier domain could nurture?
